Some Days 03:09
Some days there's nothing around that's worth fighting for In some ways, I know that's not true but I've become forlorn I should shatter the mirror I look into self-assess But I don't wanna clean up that mess My enlightenment has turned to confusion It came over me from a buddha out to vex The wine I once had is now dirty water Got morphed slowly by a savior with a hex Some days there's nothing to do that's worth getting hurt In some ways, I know that's not true but I'm on high alert I should stop myself from feeling so downcast But how long would happiness last? The love in my veins has turned into venom The patience I had has melted away My confidence was once unshakeable Signs that I cared were on display Some days there's nothing I want that's worth changing for In some ways, I know that's not true but I'm the stubborn sort I should cleanse myself or set a higher bar But I'm scared of a new repertoire My enlightenment has turned to confusion It came over me from a buddha out to vex The wine I once had is now dirty water Got morphed slowly by a savior with a hex

When I sought a fairy tale outcome I wasted so much income But time I spent is what I resent And that's the truth, I finally know better Now I'm paralyzed like my feet have been fettered I'm looking ahead but I'm trapped in my old self I know you're alone and full of dismay I did my best to change that It's not my fault you're circling the drain And that's the truth, I finally know better You wanna be dead, though you couldn't be deader To my right now, I still wish you happiness Has it gotten too late for a fresh start? I don't want a slate blurred with erase marks Has it gotten too late for a fresh start? I don't want a slate blurred with erase marks Remnants of all of my regrets Remnants of chalk line silhouettes Now jackals cackle at my old attempts Of showing true affection And finding due rejection And that's the truth, I finally know better My hope broke down when my heart found a shredder Pressing ahead is hardly a fresh new start I want a clean slate but it's full of eraser marks
